I shot the press preview for this year’s NYC Auto Show this morning. To be honest, I was a bit underwhelmed. They didn’t really have any mind blowing concepts, like I was hoping for. I feel like my photos were a bit underwhelming too. I guess that can happen when I’m not feeling inspired. But, I’m posting a couple of my favorite cars from the show. I have basically always been an Audi-man. So, my favorite was the R8 above. I even like it in matte white.

Next up is a throwback Jag. When I was in HS one of my friends’ mom drove this car. The thing is all hood. She got a ticket on I-15 for going too slow. Such irony.

I love the new Lotus Esprit. Again, even in boring old white.

This Saab concept was pretty cool. It was clearly inspired by the ship in the 80′s sci-fi movie “flight of the navigator.”

I really liked this M1 Coupe. It reminds me of the old 318i. My friend Mike D. had one. Good memories in that bad boy.

Finally, I had to throw in the disco ball smart car.

A-team van. I would have freaked to see this in real life, when I was 10.

M3 Undercarriage:

Volkswagen paint swatches. Super cool display. I really liked this image:

And, my favorite by far: the baby blue Astin Martin with the Union Jack. Ms. Moneypenny in the background, filing some stuff.

First things first: this is the 1000th post on the new blog. Thank you, thank you. Now, getting to brass tacks: please notice my squinty faced self portrait in the Rolls Royce grill, above. Hahahaha. It wasn’t on purpose. It was one of those bonus details that I noticed when I started editing.

I spent the morning at the New York International Auto Show, at the JavitsCenter. Aside from bar exam flashbacks, it was a pretty good time. I’m pretty sure that I can post these, since they are most likely just going to be stock files for this media company that I intermittently do jobs for. Anyway, it was pretty much the coolest ever, because today and tomorrow are media only, which means that I pretty much had the joint to myself. I’m going back for another dose, in the morning, since I didn’t even make it half way through.

If you know me very well, then you know what a perv I am, when it comes to Audis. I better not even get started. Of course I shot some Lambos and Astin Martins. But dude, I would have been pleased as punch if Audi was the only brand repping. Check out these gorgeous R8s.

I would even take it in white.

Who needs coffee, when you can start the day off shooting this kind of action?
